Cyberinfrastructure for Elementary, Secondary and Informal Education

PI将审查ESIE在2002年1月至2005年12月的四年期间为NSF在网络基础设施（CI）方面的投资所做的努力。 如前所述，NSF定义CI的方式包括高性能计算;数据、数据分析和可视化;协作站、观察站和虚拟组织;以及教育和劳动力发展。 PI认为，ESIE通过方案和项目为每一个项目做出了贡献。 由于NSF很可能在未来几年内对CI进行大量投资，ESIE必须获取有关其当前投资组合的相关信息，作为规划未来工作的基础，这些工作在EHR内部更加协调一致，并与其他董事会共生。 该项目将总结ESIE在网络基础设施投资方面的当前工作。 将以叙述和数据库形式报告，并在各种论坛上介绍。

The PI will review the efforts of ESIE that contribute to NSF's investment in cyberinfrastructure (CI) during the four-year period from January, 2002 until December, 2005. As noted, NSF defines CI in such a way that it includes high performance computing; data, data analysis and visualization; collaboratories, observatories, and virtual organizations; and education and workforce development. It is the contention of the PI that ESIE has contributed to each of these through programs and projects. Since NSF is likely to make a substantial investment in CI in the next few years, it is critical that ESIE capture relevant information about its current portfolio as a foundation to planning future efforts that are more concerted within EHR and symbiotic with other directorates. This project will produce a summary of the current work characterizing the ESIE investment in cyberinfrastructure. It will be reported in narrative and database form and presented in various forums.
